I think you hit the nail on the head. I have always felt the song is a comment on the overloading of 'experience' that led George to ditch psychedelia for a religious 'pure' high. For a while the others tried that as well (see trip to India) but the others quickly dropped that to return to more individual experimentation via drugs. The others became DISGUSTED by the predatory 'guru' which led to another of my favorite Beatles song. The sublime, hilarious 'Sexy Sadie'. Drug abuse was fatal for some but it also evolved musical genius.

The Yellow Submarine soundtrack album was released as an almost novelty album and yet it contains five of their best songs.

I was on a Beatles binge going through every song in their catalog looking for gems and this was the one that floored me that I had to stop and listen again. Such an insane song.

I was blown away when I saw Yellow Submarine at the theater, not only by "It's All Too Much", but by "It's Only A Northern Song" & "Hey Bulldog"! At that point, I thought I had heard (and owned) every Beatle song made. The opening of "All Too Much" actually gave me chills!

They’re a band that’s truly worth analyzing to death, they were really something special. And as was alluded to in this video, there really are still unsolved mysteries regarding the recording process and the various roles that were played. You might think we’d have it all nailed down by now, who played what, etc.. but there are still some things that we still don’t know for sure, and we’ll probably never know. Even asking the Beatles themselves doesn’t always yield solid answers, as in many instances they don’t remember, or- they “remember” incorrectly. But it’s all in fun, as I said, they were really something special. Me personally, I can’t get enough of videos like this... I love it. They’ll always be my favorite band.

Agree. The original mix of "It's all too much" was pretty bad though so maybe listeners at the time didn't catch on to the power of the song. Also, the "Yellow Submarine" album was probably a disappointment to the record buying audience since it contained only one side of Beatles originals. This might have contributed to the relative obscurity of "IATM" and "Hey Bulldog".

You can tell from the sound that it's a single coil guitar, most likely a Strat because it also definitely has a floating bridge trem. John and George both played such Strats at that time (John had the pale blue Strat, George had "Rocky".) Paul McCartney's single coil guitar of choice with The Beatles was a Tele with no trem. Also, it's definitely him on bass, probably the Ricky 4001. For it to have been anyone else in the band they'd have needed a right-hand strung bass. And that little octave play at the end is VERY McCartney. So, by default, I reckon it was John on guitar. And he did like the Fender amp fuzz sound a LOT.

Good catch on the Fenders. Both John and George had 1962 Sonic Blue Fender Stratocasters. They had fatter necks that year. Fenders were hard to come by in the UK, back in those days, so it was a big deal for a Brit to own one. George later painted the front of his in a psychedelic pattern and would dub it "Rocky", as you mentioned. Only the front was painted, as the back still had the Sonic Blue finish. George played this same Strat for the recordings of, "And Your Bird Can Sing", "All You Need Is Love" and "Nowhere Man". "All You Need Is Love" is from the same album and recording sessions as "It's All Too Much". George didn't get his Rosewood Fender Telecaster until 1969, just in time for the "roof top concert" in December of that year. They have a beautiful tone, but boy are they heavy!

@ecuadorthree

Жыл бұрын

No opinion on whether you're right or wrong, but it's easy to approximate a floating bridge on a fixed bridge guitar by just bending the whole neck. Depending on the guitar, you can drop maybe a semitone and a bit. Not that I recommend it.

Thank you for adding your input as someone familiar with their instruments. It’s one of the few holes in my Beatles knowledge. I love the fact that there are still people out there who are passionate about them and their history and also have important knowledge.

With George providing an Indian-style drone on Hammond organ, John on distorted lead guitar, and Paul and Ringo on their usual instruments of bass and drums, the group recorded four proper takes of the song once they were fully acquainted with it. 'Take four' was deemed the best, which at this point was 8:09 long. At 2:30 am the next morning the session was complete, the full rhythm track for what was then called “Too Much” being put to tape.---Beatles Music History

Impossible for John to be playing guitar on this. There is a vibrato arm used to lift the guitar in the intro. The only guitar John had with a vibrato arm at the time was the Black Strat, and it’s got to be a hollow body with the heavy feedback. Paul and George’s casinos both had Bigsbys, and since George was playing organ and wasn’t playing that much guitar in 67 anyway (since he was busy studying the Indian sitar), it’s Paul by process of elimination.

My guess is john. This is because I saw him at the one-to-one concert in 1972. He did a section of about 10 or 15 minutes with just Him and yoko. Yoko was doing her usual routine and Lennon was playing a Gibson Firebird and did nothing but unbelievable feedback for 10 or 15 minutes long. It was beyond Hendrix feedback. He really knew how to get incredible feedback and that would be my guess that he's doing it on this track. I know there are not a lot of Yoko fans out there and that's probably why that part of the concert was never released but it really was something to hear especially live.

Obviously George saying "to your mother". Really, Jorma?!?! You guy-- are out of your mind!

When I was a kid, my oldest brother would play Beatles records on the family stereo for us when my parents were out playing bridge with the neighbors (it was the only time he could get away with it). The two albums he played the most were Sgt Pepper and Yellow Submarine, so I grew up with It's All Too Much. it's my favorite Beatle song

The guitar feedback on the beginning of "I feel fine" was produced by what I believe to have been a guitar leaning against an amplifier/speaker, (possibly the bass amp) A bass string was plucked. The guitar string vibrated in sympathy with the bass, through the guitar. The guitar string vibrated excessively, rattling against a fret, causing the sound we hear. I experienced the exact same phenomenon quite by accident in the same circumstances with my bass and an acoustic guitar leaning against my amp. (2×15" speaker cab.) The feedback on "All too much" is a different type and I'm pretty sure it's Paul on his Epiphone Casino, which he used on "Taxman". It has a Bigsby tremolo fitted which action can be heard. John's Casino didn't have a tremelo.

It certainly is not an overlook-able performance. I feel it's incredible that it was played live, all of them at once. The soaring power of it is gigantic. I love the song AND the track. Did you say there is an 8 - minute version? Now THAT, I gotta hear.

There were quite a few songs that were left off of the Anthology packages. I would have liked to have seen Bad to Me (John's demo) and Love of the Loved from the Decca sessions, to name a few.

I totally agree with you. One, if not THE most underrated song out of their entire catalogue. The perfect psychedelic song. Ringo’s drums in the intro are monstrous, and the vocals are simply amazing, and a LOT of fun, like that ‘toooooo mu-cha’ mantra, or when John and Paul repeat in unisson the borrowed ‘With your long.... ...of blue’ line right after George. I also enjoy the brass, though I believe George mentioned in an interview in later years that he wasn’t a big fan of their contribution.

I've always thought George was referring to Patty when he said "with your long blond hair and your eyes of blue." The bass part is very simple (I can play it in my sleep) and would perfectly line up with John's very simplistic, basic style of bass playing. I am sure it is Paul on guitar, it is very much his style. 'I Feel Fine' is not John or anybody else. The Beatles had laid their guitars & bass against the amps that were turned up and Paul's bass started feeding back, being a hollowbody. It caused the guitar to start vibrating and the note started buzzing. George Martin captured the sound on tape. It's All too Much also has backward vocals on it, that's why you cannot understand them. The extra verse in the movie, I've been told, was written by Donovan. Whether this is true or not, I'm not sure. This is one of my favourite Beatle songs of all and I certainly regard this as one of the greatest Psychedelic songs ever written.

Paul played the guitar part. Paul played an Epiphone Casino; a hollowbody guitar he bought specifically for its' ability to feed back. His Casino had a Bigsby tailpiece which allowed the wild and wide vibrato bends. And, besides, Paul frequently played lead on George's songs.

The sound of the intro is less caused by feedback and more by a vibrato bar, like a Bigsby.

Probably the first song that comes to mind when I think of hidden gems in the Beatles' catalog. Should get much more attention than it does.

If the next Paul interview I hear doesn't include the question about the lead work of this song I'll be ticked

I agree that the psychedelic Yellow Submarine songs, "It's All Too Much," "Hey Bulldog," and "Only a Northern Song" represent a peak in The Beatles' career. The songs were too weird to fit on Sgt. Pepper, they never got much in the way of AM airplay, so mostly how they came into the lives of me and my peers (I was 8 when Yellow Submarine came out) was when our parents bought us the Yellow Submarine soundtrack for Christmas that year. For me and plenty of others, it was the first non-children's album they owned. Older teens took it as a kids' record, paid more attention to Sgt. Pepper and The White Album. The songs on Submarine were considered castoffs and outtakes, not worthy of making it onto the regular records. It's only been in the past 20 years or so that they've become so widely loved. But MAN, us kids back then sure loved them. On one level, it was cool to have Beatles songs that were sort of "ours," it was our first taste of the classic thrill of digging something that's not on the mainstream radar (or that you think isn't!). Then the songs themselves were playful and weird and kind of scary and funny all at the same time. How could a kid not love John and Paul singing about jackknives and wigwams and barking like dogs? George singing about birthday cake? I'm in. And sounds we'd never heard in any kind of music anywhere, but they sounded bad ass. The terrifying Strat whammied feedback wailing and then turning into the sweet churchy-sounding organ? It was like a Halloween scare. We'd sing along with the "ugh ooh ooh" stuff on the fadeout. I'd do the "whaddaya say? I said 'ruff.' You know any more?" bit with my friend. 15 years later I went to see an underground band play at a dorm party and was amazed when they ripped into a ferocious version of "It's All Too Much." I drunkenly jumped on the stage and sang along on the fadeout. Wound up playing bass in the same band a couple of years down the road but they didn't want to do the song anymore. 😞

"Hey Bulldog" should have been on the "Lady Madonna" single. (Instead, they backed it with George's "The Inner Light" and it became the first Beatles single not to hit #1 on the charts.) Backed with "Bulldog," it would have. In fact, in the video for "Lady Madonna" the band are actually recording "Bulldog". One of their best songs and unbelievably neglected at the time.

I think John's saying "to your mother" because they recorded "Your Mother Should Know" just a few months later. Paul had possibly been playing around with an earlier version of it in the studio at the time.

And I’m tired of reading posts from trolls on YT every time there’s comments about Ringo’s drums on a particular song.

Ringo made a comment saying would leave the studio for whatever reason and he’d come back and who’s on the drums? Paul. So I don’t think he he liked Paul on his Drum kit. And who really knows why he left the band during WA sessions? Maybe that had something to do with it.

It is like heaven entering your mind through your ears.

The beginning feedback of the guitar sounds like John's "The End" solo to me

The recording of the song begins with the tape being cut, while George was in mid-sentence. It's clearly George, not John, and it's just George talking to one of the others as the tape starts rolling. This happens when bands are in the studio, they talk to each other - and often, the Beatles just left that sort of studio chatter in. In this case, it's clearly not a "hidden message," it's just studio chatter.

Absolutely correct.

Add this: There are some backwards vocals, here. Well, John's opening statement "It's All Too Much" is not backwards, but randomized Malapropism/Ringoism-like comment.

First off, a hearty CONGRATULATIONS on your amazing viewing figures! You have earned them! Ah! One of my all-time favorite Beatles songs! As for the opening voice cueing the guitar chord that launches the song, I've always heard it as GEORGE'S voice and not John's. Thanks to the isolation of the vocal track in question, this confirms my observation even more (to my ears, at least). The other thing is that both the spoken kick-off and the playout voiceover I always though were playing backward (recorded forwardly against the entire track while it was playing backward, then the tape run forward again so as to make only the spoken voice run backward). As for the lead guitar, I'm still convinced it was Paul until some other evidence or assertion (perhaps by Paul himself?) officially states otherwise. That said, I've loved this song since I first heard it in 1968 and it remains among my favorites. As a fun footnote, my final concert performance as a professional drummer was with a Beatles tribute group called The Day Trippers (the industry "retired" me after that) and the encore we did to finally close out the big outdoor concert back in 2006 was "It's All Too Much". I totally ripped off every single "Ringoism" possible for this song which went over hugely with the audience. A nice way to end my career as a pro power drummer. The morning I was packing to leave for the concert (my drums had already arrived at the gig), I got the phone call from producer Sam Reich over at College Humor that I had been chosen to play the role of Zangief on that which would be the worldwide hit series, "Street Fighter: The Later Years". Another great memory to add to my enduring love for "It's All Too Much".

Almost any other 60's or 70's band had released this track it would be one of their most loved tracks and closed their concerts for the last 40 odd years. As it's the Beatles it's an unloved song on their most obscure (proper) album that I'm sure a good percentage of people who consider themselves Beatles fans haven't even heard.

I loved that you pointed that out. Thank You

I love this song! Especially the long version. It is in my opinion one of their best and most underrated songs.

Just ask Paul who did it. I've always been a big Beatles fan and I've seen Yellow Submarine more than once, however, I just don't recall this song. Anyway, I'm still in shock at learning that Paul performed some of my favourite guitar licks that I always attributed to George (Taxman, Good Morning).

This has John written all over it. And it's obviously John talking. I think it's two separate tracks smashed together to create a sort of a shock intro! George played organ on lots of his own tunes, so it makes sense that the basic track would have John on Gtr and George on organ

I think John's shout in the beginning is more to do with his penchant for babbling/shouting total gibberish for comic effect. See also the Esher demo for "Glass Onion" and the infamous "oh my god it sounds like he's saying Paul is dead backwards" babbling at the end of "I'm So Tired." It's just - you know - what he did.

Thanks for a deep dive into my favorite band’s intricacies. I was a boy of ten when The Beatles burst onto the scene, and their musical and cultural progression coincided with my coming of age. Oh, what a wonderful time it was!

Regardless if who played guitar on this track, the first 10 seconds of guitar feedback evokes Hendrix, especially when he plays the beginning of "Star Spangled Banner" at Woodstock in 1969.

You said it yourself, The Beatles often had audio anomalies in their works. Many of these were vocal in nature. I think that second audio abnormality here is simply John turning his head to instruct the the others, hence why it trails off from the mic. The Beatles often left these little things in their studio works, which gives much of their work a "raw" and "uncut" quality. Whereas most bands would have these edited out.

I never asked myself those questions but always felt that sheer joy and "cohesive unit" thing you mentioned here while listening to this song. But it's also in many other songs from that mid-to-late Beatles period... The first example that pops in my head is "You know my name, look up the number", but I know I heard it in many other songs and also earlier on in their "Christmas records" from 1965-1966. There was indeed a time when the Beatles were really just a group of very talented friends having FUN and, this song is one example among many, of that time. But, from what I've seen and heard so far of Peter Jackson's soon-to-be-released documentary... Perhaps that time lasted longer than we thought...
